Gold Miners preparing for three big games

The KL Gold Miners are in for a tough battle as they have three very important games starting Thursday. The club is currently tied for first with Cochrane at 60 points and the two clubs meet in Cochrane Thursday evening.

On Friday the team comes home to host Timmins and then Sunday afternoon they host Hearst.

Head Coach and GM Ryan Wood said his players are in good spirits and are looking forward to the challenge. The team will once again be without leading scorer Greg Trudeau-Paquet who is currently sitting out on suspension but Wood expects his players to step up. He adds there has been some line juggling made.

He also points out this is not a one man team. He says the team has a lot of depth and scoring can come from any of the lines.

The club re-acquired Matt Brassard at the trade deadline and in 10 games he has picked up nine points, which is an indication of the depth Coach Wood speaks of.

It is also worth pointing out the Miners have games in hand on four of the clubs that are chasing them.

Thursday’s contest at the Tim Horton’s event Centre is set for a 7pm start as is the Friday game at the Joe.
